i was upgrading to that new htc rom using the free cid unlock method.
i kept doing it but i kept getting that vendor id error.
then i ran the bat one more time and the screen on my dash went white.
then i ran the ruu and it was like at 50 percent but i didnt know that it was actually installing so i opened the task manager on my pc and i closed it.
then i rebooted the phone and it just stays in a htc screen.
and i didnt have the htc rom, i had the rogers rom.
so i realized it WAS installing while on the white screen and i shouldnt have cancelled it.
so now idk what to do.
is it bricked?
can someone help me please.
flash it again from the bootloader mode
can you give me threough the process please?
or can anyone help me on how to do this through any instant messenger?
im a noob at this
For future reference "noob's" have no place flashing firmware with uncertified firmware and procedures. One should read up fully on what to do if it fails before going at it.
Just a note

[How To] Flash KS20 Complete Guide + Programms !!!
OK, I have really grown tired of people "crying" and wasting forum posts asking how to flash a rom, how their device can be recognized in LGMDP etc.

You can ask any question you want,nag to me,swear me,etc. I really like helping people!So please do not post in Spocky's or Farah's Threads for how to flash their roms!Everything you need is here!

When flashing my KS20 in emergency mode, after ~10 sec the LGMDP said something about an QCSBL writing error, or somethint li that. I pressed OK too early
Now my phone doesn't work, can't turn it on and no emergency mode. What can I do now?
Take out the battery,insert it and do a hard reset.
help...

1)Wrong thread.Please do not post irrelevant things.
2)Download my guide and you will see how you can hard reset.But I cannot understand why your phone hungs up!I do not think this has to do with opera.I have opera and it works fine.
Help! My LG KS20 is dead!
I have tried searching, but nothing came up.
Yesterday while flashing, it said something timeout (1st time the bar runs across)
Now, I cannot activate emergency mode. I cannot charge the phone. There is no response, no light. Charging the battery full has no effect. Taking the battery out has no effect too.
Is there any way to fix this? My warrenty expired just yesterday

Very strange problem!Maybe your battery is dead Take out the battery and connect the mobile with the pc.If nothing happens then it is not a battery problem.Have you tried a correct hard reset?By saying correct, I mean holding the 3 buttons for many time until the leds flash and then flash out.Then you must release the buttons.
Thanks ibanezman for your reply...
Nope, nothing. Battery is fully charged (I have an external LG charger that was given free).
Nothing happens when I remove the battery and connect to computer. I cannot do a hard reset, because there is no LG logo, and no lights. Not green, red, or blue.
I can't flash in emergency mode, because holding down Internet Explorer and Power gives nothing. No usual green light. Laptop doesn't detect anything. Nothing in device manager.
Today while going through the logs in the LGMDP folder I came across this.
<AppName>Log For Web DownLoad</AppName>
<TIMESTAMP>20090908235324</TIMESTAMP>
<Date>2009-09-08</Date>
<Time>23:53:24.-473</Time>
<IMEI></IMEI>
<TIMESTAMP>20090908235324</TIMESTAMP>
<RESULT>FAIL</RESULT>
Notice there's no IMEI number? Could this mean anything?

I do not think this has to do with IMEI.Maybe you have lost your IMEI in the flashing process.But I believe your phone is dead/bricked
I really cannot feagure out any other suggestions.Maybe you should take it to LG Service.

Maybe U can help me too.
Everything was fine with my OG but problems start when installing CM11. I decided to go back to stock later (I did it) but then couldnt be able to enter recovery or download mode. I tried several methods like re root, unlock again and lately using ROM Manager and trying to install another recover all get screwed up. Only black screen. Trying and trying I could install KDZ firmware
So then I root, unlock boatloader with method one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667398
Ok i dont know if boatloader is unlocked now but i know I cant enter recovery or download mode. Im afraid to use freegee to try to unlock again.

Well, i'll try to explain all to not get missunderstood.
My situation is, without the USB cable the celphone don't respond to any button press.
With USB cable, by the momment that i plug it, the screen shows the error message.
With the USB cable and in the error message screen, i can press the volume buttons +- and power, after that the phone restart and shows the download mode.
What i know so far is, if i can enter download mode, and here is your words, all is not lost.
Knowing that, all solutions i found on this site doesn't work with me. Or, what is possible, i didn't make it right.
The phone do not enter on recovery mode.
I gess this is all. For now

As I see, if i'm looking for the guide you are refering, of install the original rom, is the same one that i already tried and i got message error of extract file.
I deleted all lg stuff from computer, downloaded everything of the guide and the message is the same.
Any more suggestion ?
PS: I prefer english version , at least to read is easy to me.
Edit1:I wonder if the fact of my kdz file be bigger than 1gb causes that ?
Edit2: When i try the guide on this link the step 7 does not show to me, and my phone or some similar does not show on the Usb Controler list to install.

Now I am really worried about that. I just can't acces the phone by any kind of way.
When i try the Unlock Botloader, it says that didn't found my device.
Now, after restart the computer, it says: The system cannot find the patch specified.
Is there no more options for me ?
The drivers I have downloaded here was automaticly updated from 8.0xx to 10.0xx, I unterstand this is a good thing, am I wrong ?
Could U flash KDZ using the method from htc mania?? (Im using it rigth now with 1.2GB KDZ firmware)
How did U come to that situation?

Did U overwrite LGMOBILEAX folder was stated and (step 2). Did U edit hosts file as stated (step 3=
In my case i previously have a black screen, nothing more, but connecting phone to PC while pressing both volum keys aloud PC to recognice the phone.
If U receive extraction error that means that the patch is wrong. Do not press anything more in the program There is no need to

What about my edit, where i found that someone said it solve the problem on 15%, do you think it could work ?
I just don't understant well, do I need to be able to start my phone rom ? Or i can do on my situation ?
Hello guys,
I am so happy that I wanted to share this with you. As I still have headache from googling how to flash back your stock rom (which didn't work out because the flash tool gave an error every time at 15%), I can save you a lot of headache with this very very simple fix.
For some people the tool works just fine, but when you have some google bootloader or a newer freegee unlocked one and you want back to stock, lots of people cant follow this thread because of the error at 15%.
The fix is EASY and I found it on the Optimus L9 section, thanks to that guy on XDA.
Follow exactly Davevinci's great thread except for one thing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2498102
Step 4 is now:
4.GO TO DOWNLOAD MODE POW+BOTH VOL BUTTON PRESSED+CONNECT USB
But step 4 should be:
- Boot up your phone in any stock based rom, for example SAVVY Rom V5
- Enable USB debugging and connect your phone through USB using the LG PC Suite option (make sure to kill PC suite in tast manager).
Now you should see the driver installation of LGE Android MTP device as usual and then just run the flash tool from the guide. Also de mode DIAG is now the right one. The flashtool will reboot your phone to download mode automatically when it's needed.
Still an error? Don't worry, disable virus scanner and firewall and just reconnect your phone. I got an error one time, during flashing, but I followed the steps the flashtool suggested me and now everything went fine.

The link U provide is not working and U didnt upload any log, I didnt see it.
As I read to perform that action u must be able to turn on your phone.
Did U try to flash a smaller then 1gb kdz or try another ones.
As U can see U wont receive to much help in LG forum. There are good guides but on time help is another thing.
Did U try this guide (method 1): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667398

I did not tried with a smaller archive because I can't download it. Among the Brazilian files I only can download the version 10D. I am on phone now but I will send the link that I'm trying asap. I really appreciate your help man. Even that I didn't found the solution yet is nice count with some experience help.
Enviado de meu XT1032 usando Tapatalk
Edit: From this list http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093382 , all brazilian links show Access Denied
And from here http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=20, only the V10D of Brazil.
I'm looking for the number 16, CLR/CLARO(BRAZIL) which is less than 1GB. Maybe i'm wrong, but when i clic on the name, a page of TNY shows a link of ADFLY that after i clic on close advertisement nothing happen.
About the method 1, I did try that, but sometimes it says "device not found" or "the system cannot find the patch specified". I'll try that from another computer, i let you know if i have some lucky. But the guy of the guide said:
!enable usb debugging
connect as MTP
follow the script"
Maybe its not for me.
Look what happen. (I'm using download mode)

About my phone get propper detected, i guess it is, at least on my devices map it shows "Lg AndroidNet Phone"
So I rooted my D850 with LG_Root and it worked. I wanted to take it a step further and install TWRP. It didn't work but the system still worked and everything. So I did a little more research and found that you need to use BUMP and you need to install a patched bootloader and version of android. I did and its completely bricked now. Well not COMPLETELY. When I turn it on it gives me a message saying security certificate error. Then it goes to a black screen with a blinking LED. I have to remove the battery to get it to turn off. I can get it to download mode so I tried flashing with no success.
I bought it at BestBuy and I'm past my free 2 week warranty by ONE day. So that sucks. Luckily LG has a 1 year warranty. Will they replace it? It says they only replace/refund/refurbish HARDWARE failures, etc. Should I dump some water in the USB port? Lol.
What should I do?!?!?
Don't jump the gun just yet. Can you give more detail on trying to flash it and not suceeding? What exactly did you try? What happens?
If it goes to download mode, its probably repairable.

ok bro
I have a lg g3 d855, after going to the service menu and attempting a touch screen firmware upgrade my phone got stuck and now my touch screen is dead. I tried several solutions, flashing .kdz through lg flash tool, upgrading my firmware through lg mobile support tool etc. I am 100% sure it is not a hardware issue, since the touch screen was working before this. How can I get the service menu to the default settings or something like that. PLEASE share any advice about this issue.
Thank you
an update
For the last two days I tried everything I can, so I'll try to explain every move I made. First of all, I tried every version from kitkat to lollipop, even I flashed the marshmallow update, but no success. ATM I am on lollipop stock rom, with root and TWRP recovery. I am using my mouse through usb adapter to navigate with the phone. I rooted my phone with kingroot app.
- The touch screen firmware version on my phone is -1, that was the case even before my screen got unresponsive, I can't figure it out how is this possible. I tried doing the same thing, updating the touch screen firmware but nothing happens when I click update through the service menu.
- I opened the back of the phone, reconnected the screen with the motherboard and turned on the phone - but no success. The situation remains the same. unresponsive screen.
So I am kindly asking for any advice or idea you have about my problem, how can I get my phone to work properly?
Does someone know where can I find a working touchscreen firmware for LG G3 D855? Is it possible to push the firmware to my phone using adb sideload or twrp?
At last, can a screen replacement solve this issue? I am 100% sure that this is not a hardware problem, all I need is to push a touch screen firmware on my phone.
Please help xda members!

No luck, I tried all above mentioned and I am nearly given up from finding any solution by myself. If you somehow find some touch screen firmware on the internet or any possible solution about this problem, please send me a message or write a reply here. On Monday I am taking my phone to a mobile service, I hope that they can find what's the problem without changing my screen or motherboard...
Hmm, can you go to the service menu again and Hw test or something like that and see if it works? Something on the hidden menu must work..
My g3 is in a rough state too, best of luck for you mate.

I can access the service menu with my mouse, but my screen stays unresponsive after clicking on the update touch screen firmware option. :crying: The touch screen firmware version is: -1, clearly something is wrong with it. Don't know what else can I do in the secret service menu, my brother g3 went just fine updating the touch screen firmware... Running test does not solve the problem.
I think that some professional service can repair it with connecting on a special equipment and resetting the chipset and screen firmware ( similar to pc bios with programator).
Maybe it is possible to do it on a pc with adb , pushing through sideload the firmware of the touch screen, but I can't find any touch screen firmware for lg g3 d855

I can access the service menu with my mouse, but my screen stays unresponsive after clicking on the update touch screen firmware option. :crying: The touch screen firmware version is: -1, clearly something is wrong with it. Don't know what else can I do in the secret service menu, my brother g3 went just fine updating the touch screen firmware... Running test does not solve the problem.

hm, I don't know the specific name for the file needed, I can't find any touch firmware for lg g3 d855. Do you have any suggestion how can I do it? Is it possible to somehow pull the touch screen firmware version file from other g3?
I read on some websites about galaxy devices that were fixed with updating the Linux kernel to call the driver function that updates the firmware. I tried changing two kernels for stock rom on my g3, the situation remains the same.

If i was you, I'd get in touch with some kernel developer from the G3 or from those galaxy phones and try to explain your situation and kindly ask them if they could mod a stock kernel in order to force update firmware and test if it'd work.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try to contact some of the kernel developers for g3 d855. I would glad make a donation to someone who can help me out with this.

No luck, I tried all above mentioned and I am nearly given up from finding any solution by myself. If you somehow find some touch screen firmware on the internet or any possible solution about this problem, please send me a message or write a reply here. On Monday I am taking my phone to a mobile service, I hope that they can find what's the problem without changing my screen or motherboard...

im going to buy a mouse cable an try to look in hidden menu what`s went wrong. if i got any luck and somehow touch start to work again i will send you a post. thanks for posting me
I got my g3 back from the mobile service, with zero results. The touch screen cannot be fixed with flashing the software, they recommended changing the whole screen. The price is around 100 euros, a big sum compared to the phone price. I asked them to give me more time to think about, so I can make the right decision. I plan to take the phone to another mobile service for a second opinion.
The thing that bothers me the most is how can a touch screen firmware update destroy the functionality of the whole touch screen with one click.
Any advice is appreciated.

I have a lg g3 d855, after going to the service menu and attempting a touch screen firmware upgrade my phone got stuck and now my touch screen is dead. I tried several solutions, flashing .kdz through lg flash tool, upgrading my firmware through lg mobile support tool etc. I am 100% sure it is not a hardware issue, since the touch screen was working before this. How can I get the service menu to the default settings or something like that. PLEASE share any advice about this issue.

Yup, I tried all above mentioned, cse flash, .tot method, .kdz method, kitkat, lollipop and marshmallow rom flash, nothing helps. I am running out of options, screen replacement seems like the only one left

Hello, I've been having a similar issue to yours, only my entire screen stopped responding to input. I have noticed that the screen responds if I press harder (almost to the point that the screen starts discoloring), but even then it is unreliable. My phone is the LG G3 D855, and I am currently using Euphoria ROM and TWRP. The screen doesn't respond in TWRP either. I would also like to point out that I have not accessed the Hidden Menu since I bought my G3.
Do you have any advice for me? Any help at all would be appreciated.

I think that your problem is not the same as mine. I've got a firmware issue, my screen doesn't respond no matter how hard I try. You should check your connectors on the touch screen.

I got your Messages, But what you explain about firmware is very strange.. My kernel it self uses the G4 touchscreen firmware.. The firmware is located in kernel/firmware/synaptics/g3 ..
also the phone it self has the blobs aks libs that also communicate with touchscreen.. when you said you tried everything.. I dont see how reverting to stock though kdz destroyed your phones touch screen.
pressing one simple button, I just dont see it... your root method was something I would never use.. but do you have access though twrp ? does it work then or still nothing?
Are you sure you went into download mode and flashed a fresh kdz? Download that app from the playstore that test touchscreen. and see if any reading are happening..
I used that app when I used the g4's touchscreen firmware.......... But everything works great for me....
msg me on hangouts if you need anymore input.. but as what I read.. it doesnt seem like a firmware issue. whatever you did effected the hardware totally............

Thanks for the reply, I'll try to explain the situation again as best as I can.
The phone worked without any problem on stock lollipop rom 5.0.2 and everything was fine after rooting, flashing TWRP recovery and installing Cloudy 2.5 with Xceed rom. The screen was responsive, just I noticed that after a phone call I can't hang up. I read on xda and other sites that Updating touch firmware might solve the issue, so I went to the secret service menu/ HW Test and I tried to update the touch firmware. After one simple click on the update button, everything went downhill. I tried several things, I am not an expert in this but surely not a noob at android mobile phones and flashing. This is my second LG phone, till September I had G2. Now I use my mouse through micro usb/ usb adapter to navigate.
A list of all the things I've tried:
- Going back to stock with flashing .tot and .dll file
- going back to stock with flashing stock .kdz file with lg flash tool 2014
- flashing different stock roms kitkat/lollipop/marshmallow
- Again rooting my phone and flashing TWRP recovery
- Flashed Blisspop custom rom
-Opened the back of the phone, reconnecting the whole touch screen with Phone on and off
No result!
The touch screen firmware version doesn't change at all. It says:
Touch Firmware Version:
-1
Read fail touch IC info
I don't know what the hell "Read fail touch IC info" means and is is possible somehow to be fixed?
I am nearly given up on the issue, but this can be helpful for other g3 users with the same issue.
Thanks to everyone

The assertion that you are 100% sure it isn't a hardware issue is ridiculous. Now that that is out of the way why did you upgrade touch screen firmware? You also aren't very specific saying you tried to install touch screen firmware and then my phone got isn't very specific. I also don't understand the question about default settings doesn't the kdz include all firmware? if you already flashed the stock kdz and its not fixed you might be out of luck, maybe ask someone who knows alot about jtaging or something but i don't even know if that is possible for a touch screen. if you already hard reset the phone or flashed stock kdz's then maybe try upgrading the firmware again, if it is a bad firmware flash and for some reason the kdz didn't reinstall it why not try to upgrade it again hoping it is successful this time?. tip don't multitask or let your phone fall asleep during any kind of firmware upgrading from the android system (meaning if you aren't flashing from a custom recovery like twrp or clockworkmod.)
( you might have to use a usb adapter and a mouse to perform these tasks if your digitizer isn't working (ie touchscreen))
